Dynamic brain states underlying advanced concentrative absorption meditation: A 7-T fMRI-intensive case study
I. N. Treves, W. F. Z. Yang, et al.
Using 7-T fMRI and moment-to-moment phenomenology, this intensive case study of jhāna absorption identified three distinct brain states — a DMN‑anticorrelated state that grows with deeper absorption, a hyperconnected thalamocortical/somatomotor state linked to sensory awareness that wanes as attention broadens, and a sparsely connected state — showing that functional neuroimaging can track advanced meditative dynamics. Research was conducted by Isaac N. Treves, Winson F. Z. Yang, Terje Sparby, and Matthew D. Sacchet.
